i want to spend a little time on defense spending. i have to say, i've been a little stunned by the comments identify heard from our republican colleagues in the press claiming that somehow the president's budget hollows out our defense spending. that is an absurd claim. it's important to remember, number one, that the fiscal year 2015 defense number was negotiated as part of the ryan/murray bipartisan budget agreement. >> can i get you there fast? >> my niece's name is murray ryan. let's go with ryan/murray. >> now that we realize the impact it has on defense, it's murray/ryan. i'm kidding you. so that agreement, just to remind all members here, set the levels for fiscal year 2015 defense. i would urge everybody to look at the testimony delivered today in the senate armed services committee by chief of staff general dempsey as well as secretary hagel saying that those resources are adequate to meet all of our defense requirements. i would also emphasize what director burwell said, which is the president's budget for fiscal year 2015
